If you made your living on the water or even the decline in some fisheries than I think you might be a little more pissed off with the cormarnts & seals . the cape has & is dealing with the efffect of 2000 seals . while in RI they are cute to the majority of people .I know of two boats the legally take passangers to see the seals & NONE to see the birds .........................BUT come the cold weather & the bait fish have left . the seals & comarants continue to eat are winter ..............ain,t many winter founder in the bay or eels either anymore ...yet I catch tiny winter flounder in the mummie traps in season .................................. yet if you see then dive in the winter there is a VERY good chance they come to the surface >>head straight up ,,,,,,,,,swallowing either small W/F or seals .......PS they don,t have to bring up to the surface lobsters & crabs ... also the seals do dig & consume shellfish all season ><><>
